So Many Things Have Happened Lately... This Is Hard

I Guess We're Having A Horse Show?

Get ready... because this might be one of the funniest challenges we've ever attempted on the farm! 🐴😂 In today's Katching Up With Katie, we're officially planning our very own Running Springs horse show, and somehow it keeps getting bigger with every idea we throw out! From drawing horses at random to debating judges, prizes, costumes, and even a full versatility challenge, this episode is packed with laughs, behind-the-scenes planning, and just enough chaos to make me wonder what we've gotten ourselves into. 💕 We're talking western pleasure, patterns, halter, costumes, lessons, trophies, belt buckles, and all the details that go into creating a horse show from scratch. We even draw horses to see who everyone will be riding! 🤠 One of my favorite parts of this episode was reminiscing about my childhood horse show days, costume classes, and all the wild projects I somehow convinced my family to help me with. It makes me even more excited to see this challenge come to life over the next few months. I'd love to hear from y'all! What should we call this horse show? Who do you think ended up with the best horse draw? And what costume ideas do you have for everyone?

What Happens When No One Is Watching??

Some weeks are packed with horses, and other weeks are packed with stories... and somehow this one has a little bit of everything! 😂🐴 This week we're catching up on everything that's been happening around the farm, from surviving Tennessee's crazy summer heat and switching to early morning barn chores, to getting ready for NSBA World, gardening adventures, merch, and plenty of completely random tangents along the way. ☀️ We're chatting about what life has looked like behind the scenes lately, how we're adjusting our schedules to keep both the horses and our team comfortable during the hottest part of the year, and what you can expect from all the exciting content coming soon. Of course, it wouldn't be Katching Up With Katie without plenty of laughs, unexpected conversations, and a few stories that somehow spiral into places none of us planned! I always love these episodes because they're a chance to slow down, catch up with y'all, and share the little moments that don't always make it into the regular farm vlogs. Thanks for hanging out with us each week—it truly feels like we're just sitting around chatting with friends. 💕 I'd love to hear from y'all! Are you an early morning person or a night owl? And what kinds of topics would you like to hear us chat about in future episodes? #HorseVlog #FarmLife #Equestrian #KatchingUpWithKatie #HorseShow #BarnVlog Chapters: 0:00 Welcome Back to Katching Up With Katie 3:20 Why We Switched to a 5AM Farm Schedule 18:44 Prepping for the NSBA World Championship Show 26:12 Embarrassing School Memories 39:32 Farm Update: New Horses & Behind-the-Scenes Content 51:20 Game Nights: Darts, Ping Pong & Beer Pong 58:16 Yearbook Confessions: Horse Girl ▶Check out my new merch: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new [https://katievanslyke.net/collections/new] ▶▶DIGITAL DOWNLOADS: https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads [https://katievanslyke.net/collections/digital-downloads] ========================================================== ▶▶▶Connect With Me!

We Are At Our Limit... | Horse Show Hangover

This week on Katching Up With Katie, we're catching up after an incredible weekend at the Roan World Show! 🏆🐴 I'm excited to share all about Kennedy's World Championship, the ups and downs of showing, and why this show meant so much to me. We're also chatting about what makes the Roan World Show different from other major horse shows, how Quarter Horse and color registries work, and clearing up some of the questions I've been seeing. Of course, it wouldn't be Katching Up With Katie without plenty of random rabbit trails along the way—from babies and horse people to vacation ideas, future trail rides, and some fun behind-the-scenes stories from the farm. I'd love to hear from you! What's your dream horse event to attend?

We Needed To Clear The Air...

Life has been BUSY lately, but we're finally sitting down for another Katching Up With Katie! 💕 My husband is on the podcast today, and we're catching up on everything from his Canada bear hunt to farm projects, Dungeons & Dragons, future dreams for Running Springs, and answering some of your funniest questions. We talk about what life has really been like behind the scenes, how our farm and business have grown over the years, what it's like balancing social media with real life, and even put Jonathan to the test to see how many horses he can name under pressure! I always love these slower, more personal episodes because they give us a chance to catch up beyond the horses and foals. Thank you all for supporting our little corner of the internet and making this community so special. 🐴💕 Let us know in the comments what questions you'd like us to answer in a future episode and if you're actually on board with the whole Ham and Cheese idea.
